News this morning that Senate Republicans plan to build on the practice of listing GOP lawmakers on the back of toll and bridge coupons distributed to police officers in the New York City area.Â Â OiNK News has learned that Majority Leader Joe Bruno and his colleagues are bursting with additional ways to increase name exposure as the November elections approach:

require that paychecks issued in New York state list the names of all GOP Senators and include the sentence: â€œArenâ€™t we great for letting you keep a little bit of your money?â€Â

etch the names of GOP Senators onto all contact lenses, eyeglasses, binoculars, windows and other glass products with the line â€œEverything you see is provided to you by the beneficent members of the GOP Senate Majority who just happen to be up for re-election in November 7, 2006.â€

Add GOP Senatorâ€™s names to all road signs in each respective district, with additional wording like â€œSlow Childrenâ€¦grow up to vote for Democrats, but the smart ones will re-elect Republican Senator (insert name here).â€

put the name and picture of each GOP Senator on all toilet paper sold in the state; one Senator per square, arranged by seniority.
